Harmy, You_Too, cheers for the feedback! Yeah, it seems pretty seemless to me as well. The german hdtv stream does require pretty different grading to get it looking like the blu-ray though, its not as simple as just editing the two sources together (I wish), otherwise I wouldn't need to ask your opinion on whether its fairly seemless or not. That said Harmy I see what you're saying, they do indeed come from the same lowry 2004 master so they have very very similar colour grading albeit very different image dynamics.
Looking at that clip and the rest of ROTJ i've regraded, I think that the contrast is too high. I think this is because I increased the overall brightness while maintaining the same black levels but looking at your workprint and the blu-ray itself, I think its probably better to raise the black levels a bit to reveal more details in the shadows, but not enough that the blacks start to look a little grey. Would you two agree with that assessment based on this clip?
As for warmer colours, yeah, from having seen your workprint, you definately have a preference for warm colours, that's for sure. I prefer my colours and flesh tones to to be a little more neutral. Blues are allowed to exist in my star wars universe without being persecuted for being loosely related to the dreaded 'blue tint' hehe. All boils down to ones own preferences I suppose.
